Cottage pie with sweet potatoe and butternut mash

Let me just set the record straight, I have had a lot of cottage pies growing up. Cottage pie with sliced or diced boiled egg in was my grans specialty.

However I have never heard of substituting the mash potatoe for something else, I mean after all what is a cottage pie without the mash potatoe topping???

A unique and very South African recipe from Lisa Clarks cookbook “Everyday,” gives the familiar cottage pie a twist that is actually delicious.

I am never one to have sweet potatoes or butternut laying around but strange enough there in the veggie rack was a packet of sweet potato and a butternut just screaming at me to try out this dish.

Thank goodness I still had a batch of basic bolognaise in the fridge, so prep time for this dish was quick and easy and the super fun, other that the butternut and sweet potatoe chopping, the filling extras were thrown in frozen and straight from a bag. Now that is what I call a recipe, of course I have adapted it to suit my freezer availability.
